WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F.

Ben 0. Howard, who skippers the Doug- las DC-4, the largest land plane in the world, across the country, left his right leg behind him, on his way on and up; as did Alexander P. de Seversky, a marvelous stunt flier with a wooden leg. And Wiley Post was served adequately by one eye in his breathtaking hazards. They carry on far beyond the one score and ten which weighted Max Baer helplessly against Lou Nova. Ben Howard was flying his self-made plane in the Bendix Transcontinental Trophy race in September, 1936, when he crashed in New Mexico. He and his wife, Mrs. Olive Howard, also a flier, were critically in- jured. He was unconscious 36 days and his leg was ampu- tated. “Research pilot,” which Mr. Howard's rating with the Unit- ed Air lines, appears to be a bit up- grade from the test pilot job, and implies engineering and technical skill as well as coolness and cour- age. All this Mr. Howard gained in designing, building and racing planes for many years as the ‘“‘ride- ‘em cowboy’’ of many racing meets. is now In 1930, he was flying the night mail, between Omaha and St. Louis. Losing daytime sleep at times, he built a slick little 100- horsepower racer which made him the star of the National Air races at Chicago in 1930. His small-engined planes kept on snatching prizes from ships with twice as much power. After his accident, he was out for 15 months, and then back with United Air lines in experi- menial work, He is dark, slender, reserved, mastering the air leviathan with the sensitive and intuitive fingers of a concert pianist, mfp nn ENNESSEE made a super-grand splash when it brought Sergeant Alvin York to the World of Tomor- row, with a special train and a guard of honor and what-not.

This being a pleasant and unique deviation from that rather bitter monologue of Lou Angler, old-time German dia- lect comedian. The generals and the orators were throwing out their chests, celebrating their victory in war, ‘“Vere iss der soldier?’ was the plaintive refrain of the piece. And then the answer: ‘He iss over in de woods, cutting down a tree to make himself a wooden leg.” sm fps EN.

THE CENTRE REPORTER, Politicians Believe Roosevelt Now Campaiging for Third Term Bombshell by Ickes and Blast by Secretary Early Accepted As Having Presidential Approval; Attacks Upon Garner Are Without Justification, By WILLIAM BRUCKART WNU Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON.—Politics long has been’ described as a game, and it is. In consequence, there are cer- tain ruies to be followed. They are rules that are born of experience, and the participants in the game of politics know full well what will hap- pen when those rules are violated. Outstanding among these rules— none of which are written, of course -is a thorough understanding by a President of the United States that he must remain silent about his choice of a successor just as long as it is possible to do so. Otherwise, he obviously loses some of the sup- port that he can command from members of his party. Any pro- nouncement that he favors this one or looks with disfavor upon that one immediately produces a split. Those | not blessed with the presidential smile become embittered and assert their enmity. Another rule is that once a man is elected President, he automat- ically becomes a candidate for a second term. This results from the fact that whether he is good, bad or indifferent as the head of the polit- ical party that sponsored him, that party cannot dump him overboard for the of party Now, however, there i dition developing—one apparent or rule Tradition has set up a rule in country that no President sh a third consecutive term.

I find the general question being asked: Why is notice being taken now of rumors and half-truths which have thus far been ignored through six years of the administration, un- less it is the purpose to dispose of them in advance of another cam- paign? I hear also this question: How can the voters express *‘con- tempt” for these false rumors and vilifications unless by a vote for Mr. Roosevelt, personally? The answers to these questions, of course, will vary. Those who are heart and soul with Mr. Roose- velt are saying naturally that he wants to put an end to the unfair and poisonous attacks by answering them openly.

Now, Senator Vandenberg has come forth with a real issue. He proposed, in reply- ing to an urge by the Michigan representatives in congress that he run for the Republican nomina- tion, that the presidential term be limited; that is, he says no man should have more than four years at the job. It is a new thought. It is a hot one at the moment, Whether Sena- tor Vandenberg can smoke out Mr, Roosevelt on the issue is something else again, but the Michigan sena- tor has taken a position that will provoke debate. Along with that sideswipe at Mr. Roosevelt, how- ever, Mr. Vandenberg has raised a rumpus in his own party. Many Re- publicans are getting pretty cocky about their own outlook for 1040, and the injection of the Vandenberg philosophy into the picture possibly could stir up as much fuss among the Republicans as has been stirred up on the Democratic side by the gentral uncertainties of the Presi ent's course.
